Notifications alert administrators and users about potential security problems.
For example, a notification can alert administrators about an expired license or
a virus infection.
Events trigger a notification. A new security risk, a hardware change to a client
computer, or a trialware license expiration can trigger a notification. Actions can
then be taken by the system once a notification is triggered. An action might
record the notification in a log, or run a batch file or an executable file, or send
an email.
Note: Email notifications require that communications between the Symantec
Endpoint Protection Manager and the email server are properly configured.
